Here is a convicted pedophile with a criminal record coming to teach your children sex education, according to what you are saying, you cannot possibly deny him a job until he actually commits a crime.

As I said before, you lot want everyone else to risk their health because of your choices.

The awesome thing is schools are starting to ban kids who are not vaccinated. E.g. schools in Stellenbosch. There was a massive outbreak in Stellies and now retarded anti-vaxxer's will not be tolerated.

You could put all the non-vaccinated kids in their own school, but they wouldn't survive long enough to warrant keeping it open.

Well, the anti-vax lobby is growing all over the globe as people wake up to the scam it is.
You have your rights to be vaccinated and have your babies and kids vaccinated, and we have our rights not to be vaccinated, or our babies and kids vaccinated. That's democracy.
End of story.

There is no case law - when last I checked - which rules that requiring a vaccination schedule is unconstitutional. I would argue that it is constitutional, given the education sectors duty to take extra precaution and care of minors. Allowing un-vaccinated children into the school endangers those who are immuno-compromised.

Public schools can't stop the AVers, but private schools can to an extent. Though the public school makes the parents sign a lot of documentation, basically if a parents kid gets sick they can be sued by said parent.

No, its you that is missing the point which has been stated to you already. *your* kids are being protected by herd immunity. The more kids that are not vaccinated the smaller the herd gets and the more likely an outbreak is.

I am pro-vaccinations - if you have seen a dog with any one of the preventable diseases you are pro-vaccination. It works, and I will straight up call anyone who doesn't vaccinate their puppies, kittens or kids stupid to their face.

HOWEVER

There are two problems with vaccinations that are not being addressed in all the really stupid autism or not debate:

1. Vaccine side-effects are real and serious (deaths occur).

2. There is growing evidence that we vaccinate excessively with little discernible benefit. i.e the first rounds of vaccination confer immunity that is not improved by further vaccination. In fact, once the immune system is activated subsequent vaccinations are destroyed by the immune system before they have effect.

I would be greatly in support of efforts to make vaccines safer and to re-examine vaccination schedules to eliminate any non-essential vaccinations that are of no benefit to the recipient.
